Basmati Jacket Classic Designs		"What began as a life in the conceptual, low-tech world of painting has grown to a high tech fulfillment of that energy. With the aid of a skilled team, the spiritual, urbane, low-tech world of a painter has been transformed into a sophisticated, three dimensional, wearable expression."

		ELEMENTS... a collection of classic pieces done in a minimally textured, informal "tuck" stitch fabric and featuring timeless, easy tops and bottoms in a full range of subtle colors. This group functions as a core wardrobe or as individual pieces that can be combined with pieces from other collections.
		MILANOS... a collection of sophisticated basics with a Japanese aesthetic, featuring loosely constructed kimono-inspired jackets and tops and wide-leg pants in a fine-gauge, double-knit Milano fabric. This group is available in a range of neutral colors and seasonal brights and functions as a core wardrobe or as individual pieces that can be combined with pieces from other collections.
		GRAPHICS... a collection of highly original jackets, vests and pullovers done in a variety of fabric techniques and graphic designs that showcase Chris' skills as a painter. Inspiration for fabric designs comes from a variety of sources, most importantly nature and global tribal patterns. Graphics range from very bold to very subtle or combinations of the two.
		TEXTURES... a collection of soft, crunchy Jackets and tops knit in  solid, tweed or marled colors. Surface design is achieved through raised lines and areas rather than color changes, but requires the same amount of graphic design work!
		ONE-OF-A-KINDS... uniquely individual reversible jackets featuring contrasting colors of our knit fabrics per side and elaborate, all-over quilting of original designs.
